In a steering-without-driving state, a larger current limit value, drive
limit time and steering angle deviation threshold value are set than when
a low-speed driving state occurs. An automatic parking mode is held until
a time period over which a state where a motor current value of an
electric motor which drives a steering mechanism is equal to the current
limit value reaches the drive limit time. Even though the state where the
motor current value is equal to the current limit value has continued
over the drive limit time, the automatic parking mode is held during the
steering angle deviation not exceeding the steering angle deviation
threshold value. When the state where the motor current value is equal to
the current limit value has continued over the drive limit time Ta and
that the steering angle deviation exceeds the threshold value, the
automatic parking control is cancelled.
